Strongly suspect that Kinzhal is just a relatively bog-standard air launched ballistic missile running in a depressed trajectory, and much of the talk is just bloviating. There's no US equivalent, because we decided to cancel it (See A

MAD doctrine doesn't exist. No state actually assumes that it should be mutual. That's psychotic. The actual doctrine of the US is Assured Destruction: use a WMD against us, and we will assuredly destroy you. This is not necessari

Aside from the fact that releasing more than one thing from a space launch vehicle accurately is actually a fair hard thing to do. Which is why multiple satellite buses are considered dual use technology, and export of them is prohibited. R

The US doesn't conduct a nuclear first strike, not because it fears getting nuked in return, but because it doesn't want to be seen as the bad guy. The presence or absence of a missile defense system doesn't change this. Also

AFAIK, they've publicly said they don't enforce any of the limits, at this time, because it's not worth it to do the engineering yet, and might never be worth it.

The Github team org plan (for connecting friends and family) had a subnet router limit of 5, if you want to legitly get a higher limit rather than just ignoring the limit that they don't check.

If you have an automation to update it, why would you only run it once a year? why not once a week? then you'd know it's broken within a week.

They claim it's 10% total loss, not 30%. And yes, it's got a cost, but depending on how things shake out, it might not be much more if any. Cables are the best way to move charge, assuming you don't have to worry about the ca

Future is SAE J2954 (aka Witricity): you have a wireless charging pad under each parking spot. No screwing with power plugs, just park and go. This isn't ideal for fast charging, but for the slower charging you'd get from being so

That's a bare ip. The ip is getting extended out to be a full 32 bit ipv4 address. It's not getting DNS resolved.

I know GFS is a global scale model as well. If you're already going to be integrating the other NOAA models, might as well do GFS as well?

I don't argue in FB about the environmental benefits of EVs, but rather hype immediate benefits: faster on the 0-40 times than most cars (even beating some sports cars), less maintenance, and never having to hit the gas station. Just p

Windows themselves don't create drag, it's the interruption of the surface that creates drag. If they do a very good job of getting the windows put in, it shouldn't be an issue. The bigger reason is: it's a prototype, so

Yes, I made exactly that point above. But the point I'm making is that long distance transmission of water is also expensive from an infrastructure standpoint, possibly even more expensive than power (and also sometimes has transmissio

A big problem with that is energy density. Hydrocarbons are on the order of 50MJ/kg. Li-ion batteries are on the order of .5MJ/kg.

You don't necessarily need to pipe the water to the electricity, you can move the electricity to where the water is (and if the electrolysis works with seawater, you don't need freshwater either). And then you can turn it into som

We no longer have the M26 rockets used in grid square removal. They've all been decommissioned in favor of M30/M31 GMLRS guided rockets, which don't have submunitions. Oddly, "grid square removal system" is actually

Chemistry? yeah, that should have training. Straight Razor? probably should have training. The other three? that's mostly practice. So why 1500 hours of training, and not like, 160, and have the rest be on the job?
